Michigan Rummy

With elements of Rummy and Poker, Michigan Rummy enjoys wide popularity and is a huge hit at gatherings and parties.

To begin a game, each player puts a chip in each of nine compartments on the game board. Seven of the compartments are identified with a bonus card. When that card is played during the game, the holder of the card wins the corresponding chips. The center compartment is won by the first player to empty their hand. The Poker Pool is won by the player with the best poker hand at the end of the game.

Michigan Rummy is known by a number of different names, such as "Rummy Royal", "Royal Rummy", "Rummoli", "Three in One", "Poch" (in Europe) and "Calliente" in Australia. Most of these games use the same basic rules. The commercial game Tripoley uses many elements of Michigan Rummy.
